Coyote's Guide to IDL Programming
was for many years the personal web page of IDL expert David Fanning and his alter ego
Coyote. David and Coyote retired in 2015 and the web page
is now maintained by Paulo Penteado at JPL. At the time David and
Coyote left the IDL community,
IDL was just coming around to function graphics, so most of the articles on this
page are concerned with how graphics and other things were done in IDL before 2014.
Say, up though IDL 8.2. Nevertheless, many IDL programmers with existing code wished this web
page to be available after 2015. Paulo graciously volunteered to give it a new home and do
what he could to maintain some reasonable level of relevance to the IDL community.

Coyote is still "goin' along, lookin' for food, like he always is" at David's
RawahRanger (ray-wah ranger)
travel blog. Drop on by and say hello if you are so
inclined. They would love to hear from you. You can find David's latest book,
Voices of
The Colorado Trail, on Amazon.
